The meeting of the Joint Committee
to nominate fneeholders, who will

Taney's Court last evening, was a
most harmonious and successful one.
The Joint Committee was composed
of representative from the Republic
can and Democratic City Committees,
and those present were as follows:
Democratic City Committee-First
Ward, Messrs. B. f. fancy and v.
T.. Sanchez; Third ward, Mr.. Conrad

publican City Committee-First Ward,
Mr.. Sutherland Hutton; Third Ward,
Judge N. Ranney; Fourth Ward,
e. f. Powers; Fifth Ward,
Messrs. J. Frankenfield and F. G. iced.
Mr.. J. Frankenfeld nominated Mr.. W..
r. Burke for the chair, and with a
few graceful remarks he accepted and
called the meet ng to order.
He said it would not be
necess +ry for himto go into any great
description of the, object OF the meet
ing, as all present knew what they
were present for. For his party, he
would cay that it, desired that no po-
litical considerations should enter into
the business Of the meeting. eve
want" said he, "tke best men non l.
mated to make the best instrument for
our purpose, and we want to select
men who will receive the joint sup
port of the public without regard to
politics"
MIR. E. f. Powers wast then elected
secretary OF the meeting. Mr.. F. e..
iced suggested that the meeting
should lorm itself into two separate
ones, the Democratic committee going
to one room to make its nominations
and the Republican committee into
| another. He suggested that each
party nominate eight men, and then
Ito come together and, as the Joint
| Con. nittee, pickout fifteen names to
Eplace before the people for election on
1.-THE 5th day of next December. Mr..
Sutherland Hutton arose and suggest
ed that Mayor Workman was the pro-
per person for the fifteenth MEM
her of the Freeholders and that he be
unanimously elected chairman, after
which each party represented conld
nominate seven men to complete the
Board of Freeholders, which body, the
law says, "shall be composed of fiji.
teen ,,,ersons who have been qualified
voters in the city for five years" max
ing six wears in all they are required
to live in the city before they can
serve "a Freeholders.
Mr.. Erahkenfield recommended that
Mr.. Hutton's motion be put, and it
was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Frankenfeld then moved that
each Committee should retire for thirty
minutes and make uptheir listso fnomi-
nations. Both parties then adjourned
to seper ,te appointments, and in a
few moments the Republican Com
mittee came back to the main hall and
were soon followed by the Democrats.
Mr.. Burke asked that the lists be
read, and Mr.. Powers read the Repub-
lican list, it was as follows: Hon.

lowing gentlemen Hon. r. F. Del
Vale, Messrs. VIM. Lacv, B. +. Coul-
ter, b. Cohn, A. F. Mackay, John L.
Moran and Col. Geo. HI. Smith.
The eligibility of Mr.. Stern was
questioned, it being doubtful whether
he had resided in Los Angeles long
enough to fulfill the requirements of
the law.
Mr.. jacob moved that the Chair
grant a recess until Mr.. Stern could be
called up by telephone and asked the
question. The reply was that he had
not lived in the city quite five years.
Therefore his name vas Withdrawn
and MIR. NJ. d. Johnson's substituted.
He was acceptable.
The Democratic List was accepted
without any obi ctions, and Mr..
Jacob moved that the gentlemen
named be declared nominated. The
motion was put, and found perfectly
satisfactory to everyone present. This
being settled, Mr. Frankenfleld
moved that the Press be requested to
advocate this ticket without reference
to politics. Carried.
A motion by Judge fancy that the
Secretary be requested to notify the
nominees of their nominations was
put and carried. Mr.. Hutton moved
that the chairman of each committee
should see that the names OF the
nominees were placed upon the
regular ballots for the next election.
Carried. Mr.. Frakenfield suggested
that plan to fill any vacancy in the
Board be adopted And the Chair
man moved that in case that any
nominee was indisposed or unable to
act, he should notify the Chairman Of
the Committee, Mr.. Powers, and the
Joint Committee would again meet
and select suitable representative.

rich, but the poor man can under
stand it. The idea simply is that the
State should be maintained by tax
on inheritances, with the view of
equalizing the general condition OF its
citizens. Within certain limits inner
itapces might be free of tax, but GER
tainly no one is better able to pay q
tax than he who receives something
for which he did nothing.
Should the income exceed the needs
of the State, the surplus could be EN-.
ployed in public works for the general
benefit OF the body polite, and for the
special benefit OF the mass Of laborers
who can find no other employment, ..
AS further result would probably
follow the multiplication Of small
holdings and OF happy country fami-
lies, all of whom would feel deeply in
terested in the maintenance of the
State.
AS sovereign l do not pretend
that an inheritance tax, even II 1t
amounted to a confiscation OF one
half of all estates valued at and over
800, 900 would be panacea for such
troubles as have had place in Chicago.
AS long as man continues on earth it
will be his ambition to get the better
of his fellow; and what is worse. per-
haps, he will succeed, and domineer
until finally his fellow turns and rends
him. But as | said at the COM
mencement, he ought never to under
take to overturn tie existing order OF
things until he is able to overcome the
organized forces that be. To fail is to
come to grief; to succeed is to have
made re volution, and that instead Of
apologizing for its intrusion simply
takes possession of tho situation with
ut even giving notice to stand from
under. J. NJ. b.
